was sent by the sheriff to friends of the
condemned, saying that no edmittance
would be given TO the jail and this
morning the entire force of the deputy
sheriffs reported at the jail for duty.
1t was shortly after $50 O'Clock when
LiDgg and Enge. were lead from their
cells 10 the consultation cage, and the
search began. Engel's cell was first
entered, and thoroughly explored, and
the clothing hanging around the cell
was searched but beyond few empty
and papers, nothing was found.
Then the deputy sheriffs entered
Lingg's cell. while its former occupant
planted himself in the corner of his
| temporary prison, and watched them
with eager eyes. He was pale as death
and trembled like an aspen leaf as the
searchers moved around in the little
stone walled room. Suddenly two of
the three men inside jumped out to
consider, while the third man held at
arms length q small wooden box which
he carefully carried to the Jail Office
and laid On Tailor Foltz's desk. The box
contained six pieces of gas pipe, each
about six or seven inches in length,
flied with some heavy substance
and plugged at both ends. Jailor Folz
picked up one which was closed st one
end with a round iron stopper, and
one of the officers pronounced it q
Veritable dynamite bomb. Just then
sheriff Madsen arrived at the jail and
ordered that the dangerous weapons
be replaced in the box and sent to a
chemist for ANALYSIS, though there was
no doubt as to the result of the exam
alton. Then the search was continued,
but beyond a quantity of rubbish
nothing was found. Then the cells of
Fisher, Parsons, Spies. Schwab and
Fielder were searched in the order
named, but no contraband articles of
any kind were found. 1t was decided,
however, that it was best to change
the gcells and, accordingly, four
apartments on the lower tier
were cleaned out. Number IL, which is
directly in front of the entrance of the
jail, and between two rows of iron graf
ings in which space three men are on
guard night and day, was prepared for
Lingg's reception, and there the bomb
manufacturer was locked up. He was
given his bed, table, books and writing
materials, but everything else was kept
from him. He Immediately sat down
and began to write, keeping so at work
all day, until it was too dark to see.
The others, with the exception OF
Schwab and Fielden, were also removed
to new cells. Sheriff Matson was seen
on the subject during the afternoon.
He was very reticent at first, but
finally told of the affair. They had no
reason, he said, TO make this search at
this particular time, it being simply a
precautionary measure. Sunday was
selected as quiet day when the ex-
animation would make less disturbance
than on a week day. Of course, in view
Of the developments of the search the
most stringent precautionary measures
will now be taken. The prisoners will
not be allowed TO exercise as much as
and the number of visitors |
will be restricted. No one will be |
allowed to visit any of the |
in the cage, and if any |
are granted it will be only to |
near relatives, and in presence of j il
officers. No baskets of victuals or /
fruits will be allowed to be sent, and no
etters or dispatches received or sent |
until they are carefully examined. A |
special man will watch each of the pris- |
oners from this time forward
Outside the great sensation of the day |
things were quiet around the jail. |
There was an air of mystery all the |
which was not explained be-
ore O'Clock. Admittance was denied |
20 every one. Mrs. SchWab and Mrs.
Engel brought over baskets containing
Inner for the prisoners and left them
It the door. Lingg's girl also |
;ame with basket. News of the find
ng of the bombs spread like wildfire.
The universal reaction of the amnesty
sentiment was Immediately apparent. |
Hundreds of citizens who had signed |
he petition for clemencY regretted |
heir action, and wished they had never
appended their names to the paper.
twenty of the officers of the central
letail were in the squad room when a
eporter entered and told them the
news. Instantly there was a storm OF

Well, they ought to pardon Lingg,
nyway." The general opinion around
he police stations was that whatever
night be the fate of the others, Lingg's
Dom was sealed, aud he would have to
% to the gellows. 1t is doubtful if the
men will longer be allowed
o enjoy the privilege of reading daily
